@stephc1967 All MPs should commit to using the public services they make laws for. And as they take £85000 or more for giving public service they should not take second jobs!
Now he’s defected - I’ll be asking @DrDanPoulter to join myself, @NSFTCrisis, patients & fellow Labour candidates across Norfolk & Suffolk to demand a full & independent public inquiry into our failed mental health services.
Haven't seen any polling but my sense is the Tories have miscalculated the value of a dividing line on benefits for people with mental illnesses.
